Street Supervisor ijoynd did the fatal work. This hole has existed since no man knoweth when, and Joe should have a large, engraved medal for having the nerve to efface b landmark in the interest of progress. The Independent would be glad to see Joe fill the omco of street supervisor for another term. Germany now plays the bully in international affairs. Hayti and China are being made to suffer. The.

Russia aud England will consent to see the German carve himself a lice of Chineso territory in con-sideration con-sideration of being allowed to do likewise at some future time. Some day will rome a great battle over the ruins of the Chinese empire, in which case the poor celestial will be trampled out of sight. Down in 'IVnnesMH' I here is a j farm known mlhe Condor farm. ' when, a couple of Mormon I missionaries were murdered' about fifteen years ago, and n report is current to the efjVcl that the snot is atvurswi. audi lht no vegt-tilion will thrive there. The Richfield Advocate is busy contradicting the story, and has dog up as evidence letters from people living in that st-ction. This reminds Us of a tale read somew Ik re, from Eastern sonrc.'S, of how I lie-scene lie-scene of the Mountain Meadow massacre was also accursed, and that the spot was now a barren waste. The writer crossed thai field tast April, and spent a couple of hours in ramp there. He could e! no reason why vegetation should n t ihriVe there as of yore, provided sheep were kept ofl'iho ground until the grass got a start. We do not believe the God of nature do things that way. V, see no reason why man's violence to ward his fellow mun in the wa of murders, etc., should hindei the growth of the flowers and gratis in tht livid. Tin son of thing seems to bo but anolhoi bit of vague iuperstitimi which nvestigation and examination dispels. Gen. Blanco has a serious late of affairs to face in Cuba Details now being brought to light show that Wevler's policy t ol extermination hag caused the loath of nearly half a million of people in that island in two year. Blanco wants to give autonomy to whom? The in habitants of cemeteries, poller's-fields, poller's-fields, and out-of-the-way places where people crawled to die of disease and starvation! The greatest chances for any man, it would seem, lay in the insurgent army. The Cubans are to be commended for their heroic resolve re-solve to light it lo the death, if need bo. And all the while the American republic stands idly by waiting to see if Spain will not succeed in replncing the yoke on the Cuban neck. Two more years of this and Cuba will be an uninhabited waste, and the honor of this great nntion will have au ineffaceable blot upon it. Some of the Snrinsrville Dem ocrats are inclined to criticise the appointment of F. (.'. Gemmell to the City Marshalship for the month of November. Tho claim is made that he is a Republican, and that it is not meet that a Democratic Council should be stow favors upon those of the opposite parly when making appoiutme.its. We are of the opinion that if tho Council thought Mr. Geminell was qualified quali-fied for the position ami wanted him to fill it the fathers had a right to do as they pleastd. Another An-other appointment will have lo be made when the incoming Dem ocratic Council takes charire at the first of the year, when the question or politics may be more properly brought up. Annie Kennrd, the 'deaf mute" who worked charitable people at Provo this fall, has come to grief at Denver. She was u clever fraud, having worked work-ed tho scheme for fifteen months, in which time she had traveled from Ohio to Juneau, Alaska, and was on her way homo. Utah county authorities provided her with transportation to Colorado Springs, and now get laughed at for their pains.

A subscription paper is being circulated to raise a fund as a slight testimonial of the regard in which the citizens held the lato Marshal Clark. It is meet ing wuh a hearty response, and will amount to something quite substantial by (he time it, coes the rounds.

Naonld be Dona Carefully Exeesttfye Pruning; Injurious That pruning can be helpful to fruit trees is nest illustrated by the use of the knife on plinns and stone fruits. It must not be inferred, however, that excessive pruning will produce good results. In discussing the subject sub-ject we only need to touch upon the principles involved and the application applica-tion to the growing tree, it being understood that each tree has its own individual needs. The growth of the plum and cherry is largely terminal starting a few lirnhs and extending, the growth of these, the sap eircula lion in theskle limbs being weak ami ineffective. As a rule, fruit spurs aie most frequent in the sfde-llml. growth, and this is usua'ly loaded with fruit every year, md while they have the power of maturing it, such repeated annual fruit bearing enfeebles en-feebles the side limbs, and thus encourages en-courages the habit of growth just referred to on the terminals of the limbs, hence we have plum and cherry trees making a few large limbs, thus becoming thickly covered with smaller ones that are half dead as well as many small ones that are quite so. In turn these are over grown by the expansion of new wood, which causes wounds around the dead stubs to further enfeeble the tree by impairing the growth parts Dead limbs on a tree indicate that something is wrong, and in many cases the limbs th.it makes the best growth taking on a drooping habit, and become clogged with resinous sap, so that, although lined with fruit buds, they waste their powers in excessive fruit bearing. In this congested condition the trees spend their vitality ir. producing fruit, and are deficient in foliage because root growth Is weak, and only a small amount of foliage area Is necessary. Such trees can be brought into proper pro-per condition, first by thinning the fruit, and, second, by pruning. A; this time of the year pruning can he seasonably and effectively done. It is the rule that if severe pruning is done a vigorous growth will start from the parts pruned, and if the energies of the tree that go in one direction are diverted from that one, the forces will be turned in another direction, and this largely in the formation of wood and foliage. To do pruning seasonably, removing all this is necessary and not over-pruning. u) keeping up a healthy, vigorous life in every tree and variety in the orchard, requires careful work, which can ouly come from skill and training, but trees rarely receive such treat ment and upon neglected ones some heroic work is do.ie, and must he done. If nlum and cherry trees have stopped growth and are full of small, lead limbs, it will be well to prune aud get the growth started, cutting out all of the dead wood and starting wood and leaf growth, not by cutting off old limbs, but by removing the smaller ones, working on the smaller side branches, removing half the fruit spurs from plums, and thus reducing their power to set so much fruit untill it has been found by trial what amount is necessary to produce well balanced fruit, at the same time leaving energy for leaf and wood nro- duction.
